FOREWORD 

The  Child  Welfare  Committee  of  the  Woman's  City 
Club  of  Chicago  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  print- 
ing of  the  outline  here  presented.  The  first  suggestion  that 
such  an  outline  might  be  useful  grew  out  of  a  request  from  the 
Third  Ward  Organization  of  the  Woman's  City  Club  for 
direction  in  the  study  of  Child  Welfare.  The  Committee 
decided  to  meet  this  practical  demand  so  as  to  further  its 
special  work  in  all  the  wards  of  the  city. 

In  carrying  out  its  plan  the  Committee  solicited  the  co- 
operation of  an  advisory  committee  of  the  following  persons : 
Prof.  Frank  R.  Lillie,  Prof.  Edwin  O.  Jordan,  Prof.  C.  Judson 
Herrick  and  Miss  Gertrude  Dudley  of  the  University  of 
Chicago;  Principal  William  B.  Owen,  Dr.  Mary  Blount  and 
Dr.  Grant  Smith  of  the  Chicago  Normal  College;  Miss  Mary 
Snow,  Supervisor  of  Household  Arts  and  District  Supt.  Kate 
Starr  Kellogg,  Chicago  Public  Schools;  Miss  Vittum,  Miss 
Montgomery,  Mrs.  Wilmarth,  Dr.  Test,  Mrs.  Richardson  and 
Miss  Nicholes  of  the  Woman's  City  Club. 

This  advisory  committee  met  at  the  call  of  the  chair- 
man, discussed  the  advisability  and  the  practical  limits  of  the 
undertaking  and  voted  to  entrust  the  actual  preparation  of  the 
outline  to  a  sub-committee  consisting  of  Mrs.  William  B. 
Owen,  Miss  Mary  Snow,  Miss  Gertrude  Dudley,  Dr.  Grant 
Smith  and  Dr.  Audrey  Goss. 

The  preliminary  draft  of  the  outline  was  prepared  by  the 
Sub-Committee  and  submitted  to  the  members  of  the  Advisory 
Committee  for  criticism  and  suggestions.    The  result  of  this

co-operation  is  presented  in  the  following  pages. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  due  to  Miss  Helene  L. 
Dickey,  Librarian  of  the  Chicago  Normal  College,  for  the 
preparation  of  the  bibliography  of  children's  books,  and  to 
the  Committee  on  Home  Reading  of  the  National  Council  of 
Teachers  of  English  for  the  use  of  the  list  of  books  for  home

NATIONAL  COUNCIL  OF  TEACHERS  OF  ENGLISH 
MEETING  OF  NOWEMBER,    1912 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  UPON  HOME  READING 

I.  OBJECT:  There  is  no  intention  of  confining  the  student's  reading 
to  the  books  listed.  This  list  merely  nominates  certain  representative  works 
as  desirable  for  credited  reading.  It  includes  many  authors,  rather  than  many 
works  of  one,  in  the  hope  that  each  student  will  read  more  works  by  each 
writer  that  he  likes.  It  aims,  not  to  take  him  far  along  one  line,  but  to  start 
him  along  many.  It  omits  books  that  he  might  well  read,  but  includes,  the 
committee  hopes,  no  books  that  will  fail  to  inspire  interest  in  some  author  or 
some  type  of  literature  hitherto  unknown  or  uncared  for.  It  aims,  not  to 
satisfy  a  taste  for  reading,  but  to  form  and  direct  it. 

II.  INFORMATION:  The  list  excludes  books  whose  value  lies 
merely  in  the  information  conveyed.  Such  books  should  be  consulted.  Con- 
sultation, however,  is  not  home  reading  as  the  committee  understands  it.  Each 
book  listed  should  have  some  striking  merit  in  originality  of  thought,  in  imag- 
inative conception,  in  revelation  of  personality,  or  in  manner  of  presentation. 

III.  PROPORTION  OF  FICTION:  Fiction  makes  up  half  of  the 
list.  The  proportion  is  smaller  than  in  most  lists  submitted  and  examined. 
There  are  two  reasons  for  not  making  it  still  smaller.  In  the  first  place, 
young  people  who  read  only  fiction  may  be  led,  by  fiction  that  contains  attrac- 
tive description  and  reflection,  into  liking  these  for  themselves.  Secondly,  suit- 
able books,  outside  of  fiction,  are  hard  to  find. 

IV.  ASSIGNMENT  BY  YEARS:  High  school  courses  differ,  so 
there  is  no  division  by  years.  Only  two  classes  of  books  are  indicated:  i.  e., 
books  marked  "Y"  suitable  only  for  the  first  year,  or  for  backward  pupils  of 
other  years,  and  books  marked  "M"'  suitable  only  for  the  fourth  year  or  for 
unusually  advanced  pupils  of  earlier  years.  All  other  books  are  suitable  for 
use  in  any  part  of  the  course.  It  is  expected  that  teachers  will  draw  up,  for 
their  own  pupils,  lists  properly  classified  according  to  the  age  and  tastes  of  the 
pupils  and  the  course  of  study.  Such  lists  might  well  indicate  the  general 
nature  of  each  book  and  its  particular  interest. 

V.  REVISION:  It  is  recommended  that  at  the  end  of  every  five 
years  after  final  adoption  the  list  be  revised  by  the  excision  of  works  whose 
value  has  diminished  and  by  the  addition  of  new  books  worth  adding.  (Such 
revision  should  not  affect,  at  any  one  time,  over  ten  per  cent  of  the  entire  list.) 
It  seems  essential  that  the  list  should  keep  abreast  of  public  taste. 


Page  Twenty-three 


VI.  LENGTH  OF  LIST:  The  present  length  of  the  list  approaches 
the  maximum  limit  set  by  those  who  have  expressed  an  opinion.  Should  a 
longer  list  seem  desirable,  a  great  many  excellent  books  can  be  added,  espe- 
cially in  fiction. 

VII.  The  chairman  personally  advises  deferring  action  upon  this  list  for 
one  year,  during  which  time  the  books  may  be  tested.  Reports  of  results 
should  be  made  to  the  chairman  or  to  the  nearest  member  of  the  committee. 
At  the  end  of  a  year,  we  shall  be  in  a  position  to  take  final  action.

In  the  above  collections,  besides  the  poets  previously  named,  the  student  may  be 
especially  directed  to  the  work  of  the  following: 

English — Blake,  Browning,  (Robert  and  E.  B.)  Burns,  Cowper,  Hood,  Moore, 
Rossetti,  Shelley,  Wordsworth. 

American — Field,  Lanier,  Poe,  Riley,  Holmes,  Whitman. 

In  the  more  recent  collections,  and  in  current  literature,  attention  should  be 
drawn  to  the  poems  of  Henley,  Markham,  Newbolt,  Noyes,  Phillips,  Katherine 
Tyraan,  and  others. 

(The  chairman  would  personally  recommend  that  the  student  should  rather  read 
in  good  collections,  looking  for  poetry  that  he  likes,  than  endeavor  to  look  up  assigned 
poems.)
